Born 15th August 1996

Jasper's sister

Other names are  Missy Willow, when called in quite a high pitch she appears from anywhere and immediately rolls over for you to tickle her tummy and Mini Moggy because compared to her brother she is so small, very petite build.  She had to have several teeth out in January 2008 but she is just fine and has no trouble eating.

Willow loves the wall beds - May 2009

Willow is very much a house cat, she doesn't really like going outdoors.  It took us a long time to get her to feel comfortable at being outside with us.  She will stay outside for a little while so long as we are around.  After reading many cat books it isn't unusual for some cats to be like this.  They don't like outside smells and noises and feel safer in their own environment.

So long as it is warm and not windy we can get her to stay outside for a while.  She has a wonderful sleek black coat that is shiny.  She has a small tuft of white hairs on her tummy that she loves being tickled. 

Willow loves her tinsel box at Christmas (December 2006)

She loves to hide in anything from boxes to bags to quilt covers, you name it, if she can get in it she will do.  We also nickname her "teleportipuss" as she teleports around the house!!!!!!!!!!!!  Seriously one minute she can be asleep upstairs and then just appears on your lap without you hearing her come down or feel her jump onto your knee.  She is very good at hiding too and turning up in places where you have already looked for her!!!

Again a cat with a wonderful temperament.  Her tail is almost prehensile and she can wrap it around anything.  She took well to the arrival of Gabrielle and Xena, in fact it brought out the kitten in her.  She mothered them at first but as they have grown she enjoys the play and chase with them too!
